Truro and Chelmsford providing interesting talking points once again.

Mind you, I simply can't wait for Newcastle United versus Leicester City next weekend.

A lovely third goal should wrap up the points for AGs lads.

lets hope Lancashire lasses Dons do the business at Nottarf Krap later on.

Only 6 points away from the play offs anton.

Hartlepool United 3 Leyton Orient 1 Came back from a goal down and 2 goals in the last 20 minutes secured a much needed win.
Portsmouth 0 Wimbledon 0 A decent away point from a scrappy game with few chances,just outside the play offs on goal difference.

well done AG, and not a bad point for the Dons , facing up to the best atmosphere in world football TM.

I have to confess to never having seen " The Beast" play before today.

Wow !!

Being a traditionalist when it comes to sports reporting and discussion and given the nature of commercial radio since 1982, I have generally avoided Talksport like I would the plague. However, I have recently discovered "The Two Mikes" who have a certain way, erm, through the night and I have to concede that it is distinctive and even reasonably entertaining. They remind me a little in their banter of the traditional cricket coverage on the BBC and the better two-way discussion that occurs at air shows via loudspeaker.

Neither so far as I am aware stood on planes early in the history of aviation or indeed in the revival of that activity by "Utterly Butterly". But Parry is having to give a humiliating public donation to Bournemouth instead of jumping off their pier on the grounds he never explained why he didn't do what he said he would do if they got themselves promoted.

Nearly Premiership time. Come on the Leicester.
